Patchwork Parable Sculpture

Patchwork Parable, a functional relief sculpture, pays tribute to the African-American quilting tradition, utilizing textiles to create traditional geometric patterns reflective of this tradition with customized sound panels. The E.D. Croskey Recreation Center is part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Complex and serves as a historical and cultural asset to the community. The pattern of the work pays homage to the historical impact of the African American heritage in West Ocala. It also mirrors the mud cloth pattern represented on the Ocala Black History Mural at Webb Field which was restored in 2019.
